I was actually thinking about installing different versions into
different directories, and then being able to switch between different
installed versions. I remember that there was a function in TeX Live to
create or delete links to a specified installation, but I don't remember
what it was.


 2) the possibility to switch between local and systemwide texlive
 installation

 Good suggestion, but won't be in the first version of the script.

No problem - as long as it is on the ToDo list - but it should be very
similar to the point above.


 3) the possibility to de-install the local installation.

 This won't be in the first version either.

If you install one version in one directory, it should be as simple as
removing the links to that version (via that command I don't
remember...) and deleting that directory.


 4) the possibility to install the complete TeX Live

 This will be the default. I might add support to use a custom profile.

That should be fine for the beginning.


 If these features would be included, this would most definitely be a
 very useful script.

 I'm not sure if all of these will be included. I'm happy to maintain
 the script and add features, but first I just want to get out an alpha
 version for brave testers. I will put everything on github and will
 accept patches if you are up for implementing something.

Yes please - this is something which, could be put into a package for

document statistics

Hello:

Occasionally it is necessary to count the total word or character number in a 
document.
Lyx has Tools-Statistics option for the document, but how can I make 
statistics that includes the text in the Bibliography which is not edited in 
lyx?

Thanks,

If is not edited in LyX there is no way LyX can count the words, so I use

Re: Lyx stuck generating PDFs

2013-06-14 Thread Julio Rojas
Hi everyone, it seems like it really was something Python-related. I
reconfigured Lyx and now everything works perfectly. Very weird as this was
a fresh installation that worked smoothly out of the box and only after a
week, with no update or package installation that I recall. But if it is a
Python-related problem, why is that pdflatex was invoked and running,
although stuck waiting for some kind of condition?

Thanks everyone.

 Alex,


I never knew Okular could do document statistics. Is it a
plugin/extension/whatever? My version of okular does not seem to have any
facility of the kind. I use pdftotxt | wc -w when I need to obtain final
figures. I'd be glad to skip a step or two and use okular directly.

I don't think the script will deal with this directly, but I'll keep
this in mind when making the script. For example, the script does more
than install TeX Live (see below) but options should make it so that
if you want to only install TeX Live, you can do that.

 3) the possibility to de-install the local installation.

 This won't be in the first version either.

 If you install one version in one directory, it should be as simple as
 removing the links to that version (via that command I don't
 remember...) and deleting that directory.

In theory it should be as simple as you suggest. But in practice, the
script implements some hacks to make things work better with Ubuntu.
For example it uses equivs so that if you install LyX with apt-get,
apt won't try to install all of the texlive packages. Uninstall would
just have to remember to remove the equivs packages. But there are
some other hacks that I don't know how easy they are to reverse. I
agree that eventually a uninstall should be implemented. Please remind
me in a Github issue whenever I make the repository.

 Yes please - this is something which, could be put into a package for
 Ubuntu. A *very* useful addition. Please let us know as soon as it is on
 github.

This will depend on how rough of an Alpha I want to release. Hopefully
I can give you something that you can play with in two weeks. First,
please run this on a system you don't care about (e.g. a virtual
machine or Amazon EC2).

I'm having a perplexing problem. I'm using the Cardo font, which enables

Re: Lyx stuck generating PDFs

Hi everyone, it seems like it really was something Python-related. I
reconfigured Lyx and now everything works perfectly. Very weird as this was
a fresh installation that worked smoothly out of the box and only after a
week, with no update or package installation that I recall. But if it is a
Python-related problem, why is that pdflatex was invoked and running,
although stuck waiting for some kind of condition?

 Alex,


I never knew Okular could do document statistics. Is it a
plugin/extension/whatever? My version of okular does not seem to have any
facility of the kind. I use pdftotxt | wc -w when I need to obtain final
figures. I'd be glad to skip a step or two and use okular directly.

I don't think the script will deal with this directly, but I'll keep
this in mind when making the script. For example, the script does more
than install TeX Live (see below) but options should make it so that
if you want to only install TeX Live, you can do that.

 3) the possibility to de-install the local installation.

 This won't be in the first version either.

 If you install one version in one directory, it should be as simple as
 removing the links to that version (via that command I don't
 remember...) and deleting that directory.

In theory it should be as simple as you suggest. But in practice, the
script implements some hacks to make things work better with Ubuntu.
For example it uses equivs so that if you install LyX with apt-get,
apt won't try to install all of the texlive packages. Uninstall would
just have to remember to remove the equivs packages. But there are
some other hacks that I don't know how easy they are to reverse. I
agree that eventually a uninstall should be implemented. Please remind
me in a Github issue whenever I make the repository.

 Yes please - this is something which, could be put into a package for
 Ubuntu. A *very* useful addition. Please let us know as soon as it is on
 github.

This will depend on how rough of an Alpha I want to release. Hopefully
I can give you something that you can play with in two weeks. First,
please run this on a system you don't care about (e.g. a virtual
machine or Amazon EC2).

I'm having a perplexing problem. I'm using the Cardo font, which enables

If you install one version in one directory, it should be as simple as

I never knew Okular could do document statistics. Is it a
plugin/extension/whatever? My version of okular does not seem to have any
facility of the kind. I use pdftotxt | wc -w when I need to obtain final
figures. I'd be glad to skip a step or two and use okular directly.


Cheers,

Stefano

If a reconfigure solved it then I think I was wrong because
reconfigure runs a Python script.

This is good to know. Thanks, Stefano. I've never dealt with parallel
TeX Live versions but you are right that it's actually pretty
straightforward.

I don't think the script will deal with this directly, but I'll keep
this in mind when making the script. For example, the script does more
than install TeX Live (see below) but options should make it so that
if you want to only install TeX Live, you can do that.

In theory it should be as simple as you suggest. But in practice, the
script implements some hacks to make things work better with Ubuntu.
For example it uses equivs so that if you install LyX with apt-get,
apt won't try to install all of the texlive packages. Uninstall would
just have to remember to remove the equivs packages. But there are
some other hacks that I don't know how easy they are to reverse. I
agree that eventually a uninstall should be implemented. Please remind
me in a Github issue whenever I make the repository.

This will depend on how rough of an Alpha I want to release. Hopefully
I can give you something that you can play with in two weeks. First,
please run this on a system you don't care about (e.g. a virtual
machine or Amazon EC2).

Hyphenation problem

2013-06-14 Thread Louis Turk
Hi lyxers,

I'm having a perplexing problem. I'm using the Cardo font, which enables
the use of English, Hebrew, and Greek on the same page easily. But I
can't get curl quotes to work. They work with this font in Open Office.
So why not in Lyx?

Louis
